Well done. Always nice to achieve something you’ve dreamed about.
The issue is of course you then move onto the next harder to achieve dream (Which a few years down the line you probably achieve also). It’s a never ending cycle

So, depending how far into the early 2010's we are going I had:
1.2 Polo "Moda"
VW Bora
1.4 Polo (90s breadvan shape)
Audi S3
VW Up! (This would have been about 2014 as I'd just moved to the city)
MX-5 Hardtop convertible

Think I had a BMW 330d around 2010, technically my first car I brought as I had company cars before that but once they gave the option to opt out I kind of went a little over the top there. It was either that or a V8 Jag and I had a fuel card back then so not sure why I didn’t 
at early 10s (so 2010 - 2014) I was driving Saab 9-3, relocated to UK, bought Ford Focus, sold it and bought Mazda 6 mk1 estate.
Mazda was the only non-automatic car I had in last 16 years.. it was written off after some muppet rear ended into Peogeot 208 rcz which then rear ended into my mazda o_0

The size of modern cars really is unbelievable compared to machines from the past!!

1998 thru 2018 I drove a 1996 Mercury Sable with the Duratec engine. Since it's pretty much the same car as the Ford Taurus, I swapped in a bunch of Taurus SHO parts. At a quarter million miles too many things were worn out and broken at once to fix anymore. Then I bought a 2018 Model 3 AWD. Also in the stable: a 1968 Ford F250 that my father bought new off the lot, and a 1978 Ferrari GTB I bought when I was younger and stupider.

I like this thread...
From 2010:-
Skoda Fabia VRS Limited Edition (1.9 Diesel engine, it was a pocket rocket !!)
Skoda Octavia Elegance + Vauxhall Corsa (other halfs)
Changed the Octavia for a Seat Exeo Estate for the bigger boot for work (essentially a Audi A4 with the Seat logo slapped on)
Mazda CX5 + Toyota Aygo (other halfs)
Changed the CX5 for the Model 3 LR
Recently handed the Model 3 LR back to the leasing company and got XC40 recharge twin motor through SalSac and changed the Aygo for Renault Zoe (2014). so now a fully electric household

Subaru Impreza WRX (with PPP) ... that should validate my petrol-head credentials . My second Impreza and one that I kept for 8 years and put 136,000 miles on. I followed it up with a Mazda 6MPS which someone mentioned earlier in this thread.

You all had nicer cars than me
In 2010 I had a 1998 Citroen Saxo VTS. I loved that car - best handling pocket rocket I have ever driven.
If you had told me then I'd be driving an Electric Car in in ten years time (got my Model 3 in 2020) I would have laughed at you, never mind that I now have a Model Y long range and a child

Not to be sniffed at... I had a VTR ahed of the 2010's that this thread set as the start date... loved it, but always longed for a VTS!
